The project will be written by Gustavo Lipsztein, known for his work on Netflix hits such as "The Endless Night." This creative team previously collaborated on the successful documentary project "Elize: Shadows of a Woman." The film will focus on the tragic accident in Guanabara Bay that resulted in the deaths of 55 people.
